Looks like a nice system. If you have the funds I would invest a little more into the PSU. 80 PLUS Gold or Platinum rated units will really ensure you have a quiet, powerful PSU for a long time. Its the difference between dissipating an extra 50W which can help you run that much cooler and quieter. Many of them run with the PSU fans shut off until they reach a certain temp, which is a wonderful thing.

That's a big processor, I'm surprised no GPU. The Intel on-board systems are, well, terrible. GPU's are used for much more than playing games these days, if you watch videos or use Flash you would want a GPU. IE, firefox and chrome use a GPU to speed up websites. A fanless Radeon 6670 at newegg is about $80, a 7750 is about $120.

Either way, the fans will probably be wonderful. I would take out the top HDD bay to enhance airflow to your motherboard and CPU, and put fans in all three locations. Good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the comments. I will see how things go with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 and may buy a low-end GPU if necessary. I'll also try out the Silcenio's case fans before buying the Scythes. Thank you for looking this one over.
